<h2><b>Drawing Basic Graphics Elements with GrADS</b></h2>

<p>
Various commands are provided to display and customize various basic
graphics elements: strings, labels, lines, marks, rectangles,
polygons, etc. These graphics commands enable you to enhance your data
plot by adding customized "artwork". They may also be used
to create a map-based diagram with no data plot involved.
